HP Laptop battery doesn't give even 5 min of backup.

Hi,
My HP Laptop with Core 2 Duo has a problem. The battery doesn't seem to give any back up at all. so i need to keep the power cord on, whenever i use the laptop. The guarantee period is over and i do not know how much the battery is gonna cost. Please advice.
Thanks and Regards,
Aldrin.

Just buy a new one. Battery wont last long.
Buying new battery from HP would be the best choice but third party one would not be so bad.

Battery level low, doesn't give a warning.

Hi,
When my battery is almost empty it doesn't give a warning. I have an HP G62 and windows 7. My laptop shut down (black screen). Before I always got an popup which says I should connect my laptop to power. When I restart my laptop I got a window where they asking me 'windows normal starting'. And i'm lost all my internet settings and thinks I saved..
Problems started since I changed my HD (because my HD crashed). I changed my HD from 52 00 rpm to 7200 rpm.
Can somebody help me thanks.

HP Mini 200-4200 doesn´t give USB in the Boot Menu

Hello!
I have: HP Mini 200-4200, pr nr B3R47EA#ABU. Hard Disk died, received a new one and I was waitng for the USB info to come. I just received in time my USB stick with the Recovery info on it. (USB Recovery Stick is - 685741-034)
I followed the instructions, but in the Boot Menu Options, it didn´t give me an external disk. It gave me 3 options - Notebook Hard Disk, HP, Network Adapter.
I didn´t know what to do, and thought I´d go out of the system and ask for advice here. Pressed Esc. It then continued into Recovery Manager. So I thought, phew!, it will work out. Now however, it has gotten stuck for about 3hours (it can´t be thinking that long?) in this:
"Factory image recovery preparations
Did you receive any Supplemental Disc provided with the System Recovery Media? If yes, insert it now; otherwise, click Skip.
Please wait."
The USB stick has been inserted all this time. Now, after 3 h in the same screen ,I took it actually out for a sec and put it back, no change.
What´s going on?
(should I press the "skip" button?)
SOS!
while waiting for a reply, I shut the mini down and went again to BIOS (no idea what I´m doing - but in some post someone said they changed their boot order..went to look that)
In System Conf, Boot Order comes up as this: Notebook Hard Drive, USB DIskette on Key/Usb hard dis, Usb dc/dvd rom drive, !usb floppy (with an exclamation mark!!!) and Network adapter. The Floppy Boot in Boot Options was disabled...I enabled it...just in case.. no idea what it means. After that USB Floppy doesn´t have an "!" on it.
Should I change here something to get it to put USB up as an option? The order?
I have powered up my mini 3 times with the USB stick in one of the 3 slots each time...not sure it´s a great idea, but it just doesn´t give me the option to Boot Menu...???
Now with all enabled in the Boot order...still doesn´t come as an option.
People also talk about Legacy Mode....can´t find it anywhere in BIOS to change any setting?
Oh, and when I pop the USB in a slot to another computer, it starts reading it...but I´m too ignorant and scared to see what then happens, so I just took it out again.
This question was solved.

Boot using the option for "USB DIskette on Key/Usb hard disk". This should get you back to the same place as before. If it doesn't, disable the boot from USB floppy option and try again. Since you didn't receive a "Supplemental Disc" with your USB recovery media (and even if you did, you couldn't use it unless you have a USB CD/DVD drive), you will want to press "SKIP" when prompted. Next, just follow the prompts as needed and eventualy Windows will be installed.
Good luck and post back if you run into any other issues.

How can I reset my security questions even when it doesn't give me the option to send the answers to my email??? I honestly dont even remember doing any security questions. This has just now become an issue since it has stop letting me purchases music on my Mac or IPhone.

To Reset Your Security Questions, You will need to call Apple (0800 048 0408) and Reset them, you'll need for verification access to the apple id web page (myappleid.apple.com) and it will ask for a temporary pin and also a iDevice on hand to recieve a code from Apple in order to reset your security questions

Battery doesn't charge AND frequent shut down when only on AC power

Hello all,
I've spent some time browsing and searching this forum to avoid asking a question that has already been answered but I haven't seen a complete answer to this situation so here goes.
I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 model 0768DKU. Battery (P/N 92P1185) started not charging/not holding a change about 6-8 months ago AND the laptop now abruptly shuts down even when on AC power. From the forum I found out about the 18 month battery replacement policy but I'm just a few months past the 18 months so out of luck there. Normally I would just buy a new battery but the last few months I've been getting very frequent shut downs when the laptop is exclusively on AC power even with the battery removed! This has kept me from buying a battery because the laptop won't stay on even when it's plugged into the wall then how will a battery help?
This has really thrown me for a loop since the laptop may run 30 minutes then it's dead like you pulled the power cord. Turn it back on maybe 10 minutes then dead, or 5 minutes then dead repeat over and over.
Steps I've taken since browsing the forums:
Virus scans/spyware are clean
Used compressed air on the fan vent to remove a little dust, opened up and sprayed out dust nothing major.
Speedfan is reporting cpu temperatures of 65C to 69C at 99% idle.
Reseated memory
Questions:
Would a new battery potentially solve this problem? I'm not sure how since it shuts down even with the battery removed and only the power cord plugged in.
Bad AC adapter?
Thermal problem? It looks like the cpu is still below temperature ranges based on Intel but it sure seem like a thermal problem to me the way it shuts down. I'm trying some new thermal grease tonight but not sure if that will realy make a difference.
Any suggestions, I'd hate for it to be motherboard, etc.
Sorry if this was answered elsewhere I've seen all the battery posts but not how the battery would address the fact the laptop shuts down even when on AC power with or without the battery installed.
Thanks,
Chad

Hard reset didn't work for me either, thanks for the tip it was worth a shot.
Thermal paste kept temps lower around 45C still suddenly shut off like usual while on AC power. 3, 5, minutes, etc. Doesn't appear to be thermal.
Could the "bad" battery somehow be messing up the power circuit and cutting off. Looks like the battery problem with these units is huge wish I'd been looking earlier since I was within the extended 18 month period at the time. Just want to hear that someone bought a battery and it fixed the problem....

Battery Doesn't Last The Day!!!!!

Hello everyone,
I just purchased my Blackberry Pearl 8130 not even a week ago and the only thing bugging me right now is the fact that the battery doesn't even last a day. I left it for 6 hrs without touching it and the battery went down 40%!!!!
I am just wondering if this is a common thing with this phone, I mean I know the phone does alot, and I know it is constantly sending and recieving data or at least mine seems to be. I just want to know if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve the battery life! I mean when I first purchased the phone I let the battery run out and then charged it I am not charging it when it is half full, the battery is always dead when I charge it.
Also MSN messenger doesn't seem to be working either I am getting an error 67 failure to reach server....anyone else having this issue???
Sincerely,
Kat

Turn off the gps, if you have gps on the phone and turn off bluetooth, if you're not using it. That will help some. If this continues, go to your provider and ask them who to talk to about battery replacement. Occasionally, a battery just doesn't live up to its charge. Also, you should recharge these types of batteries when they are a little less than half way drained. They are better suited for this type of charging. Only drain completely maybe once a month or so. Hope that helps some. Sam

Battery doesn't charge but ibook still runs on ac?

I've got a 2004 iBook G4 1.0ghz processor 1.25gb ram. Had it 16 months, no problems so far until today.
When I plug in the AC the laptop runs off this power- the battery symbol changes to show the power plugs- but the battery does not charge. It stays at 49%, no matter how long I wait. I tried inserting my backup battery and it doesn't charge either, it just stays at 26%. The laptop will run off the battery if it needs to, I just can't get any more power into the battery itself. And the leds in the adaptor do not change colour anymore, they are always out. Applecare recommended a PMU reset, which I did, but nothing changed. Next recommendation was to take it in to the shop. I'm hesitant because my original iBook never really came back from the shop... it had 3 logicboard failures and a hard drive failure in the first 90 days. My current iBook is a replacement. Hopefully this is not logicboard as well. If there's anyone out there who has experienced something similar and has some non-invasive advice please help! Thanks.

Same here with my AT270 bought in January 2013. The tablet does not load and remains on the screen with the red battery without recharging.
Even powered on, the tablet does not charge.
I am looking for a replacement battery, but the one I found on the web are more than 50€ would you have a better price?
Thank you in advance.

Win 7 (Sony Vaio) Battery Doesn't Charge

I have a Sony Vaio VPCEB11FM notebook with Win 7 64 and suddenly the battery doesn't charge. During shutdown, Win 7 was installing updates and before it was done it went off.
After that Win 7 doesn't recognize the ac adapter plugged in and the battery doesn't charge.
The updates downloaded are not running or installing.
I have tested the ac adapter and battery on a laptop exactly like my one. And it worked just fine.
There are no updates available for battery from manufacturer.
The charging light is off when i plug the ac adapter.
The laptop works without battery, but plugged in ac adapter.
Plz, helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp...

Hi
I've had a number battery problems to do with rapid
discharging and not charging properly - the batery was nearly new and previously had 3 hours life before an update ... Sony Support
have been worse than useless ... In case it helps (given that your problems started after your Windows 7 update) - my
problem was not the physical battery (or BIOS or drivers or a number of other things I checked) but the Sony VAIO battery management software which stopped working after I installed the 64-bit Windows 7 update Service Pack 1 (SP1).
There may be no harm in just trying to re-install the Sony VAIO Battery Checker software - it worked for me ... To do this, run
the VAIO Care Recovery and Restore programme (from the start menu), use the Recovery option  - Reinstall Applications and Drivers – and re-install the Battery Checker
(tick the check box option).
Hope this helps :)
Here's the full detail of what happened to me in case others have similar problems:
Warning to all 64-bit Windows 7 users: Do NOT install Windows 7 SP1 !!!!!   If you do and
the Sony VAIO battery management software ruins your battery, Sony Support won't replace it but blame Microsoft instead.
After I installed the Windows 7 update for SP1 my battery performance died - the battery would
discharge from 100% to zero in only 52 minutes
(it was nearly 3 hours before installing SP1). In a specific timed test for Sony Support the battery took 47 minutes to discharge to 50% and then rapidly discharged from 50% to zero in the following 4 minutes. In
all tests I performed the machine did not ‘turn off’ but crashed as if the battery had been ripped out, prompting a safe-start by windows each time. From zero charge, the battery was re-charging to 100% charge in about 20 minutes.
Sony Support were useless, so I started to read many technical discussion forums online and found that hundreds of Sony users
have the same problem with battery performance with no solution. Many discussions online have led back to a wrong idea: that the Microsoft Windows system drivers –
battc.sys and
compbatt.sys – used for Microsoft Composite Battery management are too old to be 64-bit versions. This idea is because the Microsoft driver information
displayed in the Device Manager window shows a driver date of 21/06/2006, before Windows 7 64-bit was deployed. However the actual hidden driver files in the Windows System folder (version 6.1.7) are dated 14/07/2009 and are indeed 64-bit versions.
I found this after I spent hours looking for new versions of the drivers and when I couldn’t find any mention, let alone new versions, I then checked the actual file properties myself and discovered the Microsoft drivers are fine (even though there is
a Microsoft Windows 7 error displaying the date using Device Manager). Similarly, a number of people have updated their BIOS with no change to the problem (so I'm leaving that alone).
I then investigated other ideas – and eventually checked that the version of VAIO Power Management and Battery Checker
VAIO (part of the Sony Notebook Utilities exe) for my machine (VPCEB3C5E). The latest versions I could see online (Sony sites) all appear to be the same versions as those already installed on my machine.
However, I tried one final, simple action and it fixed my machine:
I used the VAIO Care Recovery and Restore programme
(from the
start menu),
selected the Recovery option – Reinstall Applications
and Drivers – and re-installed the Battery Checker (check box option).
This fixed the problems with the battery management
where the machine suddenly crashes without adequate warning when the battery is discharging. The
battery now shows a steady discharge from 100% down to zero (remember, before it discharged quickly down to 50% and then from 50% to zero in the last 4 minutes). It also charges back up at a steady (safe) rate rather than rapidly.
Unfortunately, my battery is now damaged but Sony Support do not want to know.  In
the several weeks while the Sony software was not working properly the battery had been rapidly re-charged, over-charged and is now damaged.
The previous battery life of over 2.5 hours in normal use (let alone test conditions
doing nothing) has been reduced to less than an hour since the 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 installation.
Things
cannot still be fully correct with the Sony battery management software because the
battery health status in the
VAIO Control Centre is still displaying
GOOD.
So Sony Support will not replace the battery, even though previously they contradicted themselves by saying I had to run industry standard tests - now when the tests show the battery is faulty Sony then go back to relying on
software that was the cause of the problem. Unbelievable !!!
Moreover, the Sony European Support guy escalated my case (5568077) and the response he got was this is a Windows 7 issue and
not a Sony problem ... Therefore, should I ask Microsoft for a new Sony battery even though it was the Sony software at fault? Even more unbelievable by Sony !!!!!!
So, all Sony VAIO Users - don't install Windows 7 SP1 and expect Sony Support to help.
Most of all - when the Sony VAIO battery management software ruins your battery, don't expect Sony to replace
it.
And now for a bit of a rant to make me feel better ... This was the first time I've bought a Sony - I've had dozens
of Dells over the years but thought I'd try a VAIO for a change ... Given my recent experience guess what my next machine will be? Sony may be making a small financial loss since the Tsunami and online PSP gaming / hacker problems, but with service like
this their VAIO losses will also be significant in the future - Sony just don't get that customers pay for and expect service when we buy a machine ... Idiots!

Please please can some one tell me how do you charge ur ipad with ur laptop. it doesn't chage wen I put use the wire. only charges when I plug the socket in.

please please can some one tell me how do you charge ur ipad with ur laptop. it doesn't chage wen I put use the wire. only charges when I plug the socket in. Iv never used an ipad b4 so don't really know much. Hope some one knowz.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Hi everyone i have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last long for more then hvvour. what should i do?

Hi everyone,
I have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last for more then two hour.
what should i do? it is seriously big problem.
Please help me.......

This is a general comment, not directed to anyone, and not to be taken personally by anyone. This ongoing screw up with the new upgrade (5.0.1) is getting to be a **** SHAME. In no way can APPLE or anyone else for that matter not know by now that the upgrade is terribly flawed. The Ipod machines themselves are super great products, and I enjoy mine to the max. However the upgrade once applied ruins it. And at least, not to my current knowledge, there haven't been any fixes forcoming.
In my opinion Apple should own up to that fact and warn folks that, even though the upgrade was presented with the best intentions, IT JUST AIN"T WORKING. And not to download it until further notice. This noticication could be done through the retail sales outlet, online, what ever.
I liken this to a pharmaceutical coming out with a new vaccine, encourage everyone to use it, then discover it's bad to the degree it causes it uses to become sick. Rather then pull the vaccine they keep on allowing unsuspecting ones to continue to vaccinate, and become sick. What a shame!

Tested USB ports, they work with other devices
Tested hooked ipod up to another XP machine was not found as new hardware, tested another device on the same machine it was recognized as new hardware
Replaced the USB cable
Deinstalled/reinstalled Itunes and Ipod
Tried all teh steps to reset ipod, can't get it to go to disk mode, can't restore because the computer doesn't think its connected.
Reinstalled XP SP2
Deinstalled any new or funky software, disabled any virus or security software.

"i've tried hooking my ipod up to every usb port i
have, including a usb hub, but each time i get a
message saying that the usb device is not recognized

Time Machine stopped backing up but doesn't give warning/error

Hi,
by chance I noticed, that Time Machine doesn't backup up any more, but still doesn't give errors. In Console I see the following for a now typical run:
21.04.15 09:58:11,493 com.apple.backupd: Starting standard backup

The 5.18 GB are never backed up. The backup drive (drosera-backup-02) is attached by FireWire. I have checked the disk with First Aid, I have disconnected and reconnected it. I removed the backup disk from Time Machine, stopped TM and reconfigured. I stopped mds, ran backups and reenabled mds. All to no avail.
I am at a complete loss and I'd appreciate to get this running w/o having to remove all existing backups. Any ideas or pointers?
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on a Mac mini
Cheers
Frank

Thx. I had already tried the hints from mds: (Error) Volume: Could not find requested backup type:2 for volume to no avail. Your tip to rebuild the Spotlight index would probably helped, too. But just before getting yout comment and after reading http://pondini.org/TM/Works.html and http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/69054/force-time-machine-to-perform-a-d eep-traversal I had simply removed /.fseventsd and reran a backup. That seems to have fixed the problem (at least for the time being).
Interesting side note: During the non-backup phase I created a new account on the Mac and ran TM. This triggered a one-time working backup of the whole system, but all subsequent backups again failed silently. Additionally the externally attached FireWire harddrive was always backed up correctly, only backups of the local drive failed.

SCCM Report for Laptop Battery Condition

Good morning,
We are in a situation where we're needing to monitor conditions of laptop batteries in the school district I manage. I have added the laptop batteries class(Win32_Battery) and have all required/requested information checked under this class. This
has been set for a week, so all devices should be inventoried by now.
How do you recommend my getting a report together that shows battery condition/etc? The fields I would like to see are ones such as:
Win32_Battery
battery status
design capacity
design voltage
Expected Life
Error Description
Full Charge Capacity
Really anything that will help us in knowing which laptops batteries need replacing.
I am not that knowledgeable about SQL reporting/SCCM reporting, so any help in getting this is greatly appreciated. Any resources that you can point me in for getting more familiar with creating my own reports would be greatly appreciated. I
don't even know where to begin.
Thank you!

Good you have added the class. Please use the following link for the detailed information about Win32_Battery:

Last Full Charge should guide your decision on replacement.

I just got an iPod touch, it was fine with battery life before I added Apps but now the battery doesn't last more than a night, what should I do?

I just got an ipod touch from my sister yesterday which she has had since October. The battery life went for days with her but as soon as I started checking my email and adding apps the battery doesn't last more than a couple of hours. I deleted some apps but no change. I also kept my email logged in and my notifications turned on so I'm wondering if they are part of the problem. Please let me know what I should do. Thank you so much.

Yes, notifications are part of the problem. For more information look at at the previous posts on this problem. Yu can find some of those on the right hand side of this page under the heading: More Like This. I keep mine in airplane mode when asleep.

HP Laptop battery doesn't give even 5 min of backup.
